Evil never dies, it just takes on a new soul…
Film Synopsis
Born of Fire (1987) follows a reclusive Western musician who travels to Turkey in search of a mythical flute said to unlock transcendent power. As dreams, folklore, and spiritual tests blur the boundary between inner obsession and external fate, the journey becomes one of transformation rather than conquest. This mystical fantasy drama blends mythic symbolism and dreamlike imagery in a meditative exploration of art, desire, and awakening.
